[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raging men will always find ways to torture and kill people. Hell, look at the countless serial killers. Odd how no one here seems to want to address root causes, like lack of respect for one another, or common sense authority figures like parents. Children are now commonly raised to hate others who don’t agree with them. Entitlement on steroids.

Tell me, do you think all of these causes you list are unique to the US?[/quote]

Different poster, but no - they aren't common to the U.S., however gun ownership rates are also not consistently tied to higher murder rates. Russia has a very high violent crime rate, but little to no firearms. The root cause IS the issue, but gun availability (the tool used) does make it easier to commit murder.

The real question is freedom vs. safety. I vote for freedom and always will, even at the risk to my kids and myself. That is the price of freedom. Nothing in life that is worth something is risk-free. Amazing how many people still think the opposite. However, if you think the loss of freedom to carry for law-abiding citizens is less important than the safety of a low percentage of the overall population who are murdered randomly in a mass shooting (extremely low percentage) then that is your right to have that opinion and to try to convince others and politicians of that belief. I'd prefer to have government go after the root cause of most gun-related murders (drugs, gangs, crime) than ban or confiscate arms from the rest of us over a small percentage deaths due to glorified mass shootings, the glorification of which urges future acts of a similar nature. Meanwhile, in the rest of the US, a lot more black men were killed in gang/drug related shootings this week with no moral outrage.[/quote]

freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose

I bet you are rich.  If you were not, you would know that nobody is free.[/quote]

Tell that to the North Koreans.[/quote]

Lol like the republicans are against what goes on in North Korea. Republicans want that here. Why do you think they stormed the Capitol to install trump? [/quote]

Correct. Low-brow fascists.

A long time ago, I used to work with a guy who grew up in Nazi Germany. He described the early adherents to Naziism as "losers."  German accent: "Deese were duh guys with not much going for demselves. Duh guys who wanted to feel important."

Early on, most people thought they were kind of a joke, he said: "But it just kept going." [/quote]
